Abstract: To improve the electronic medical record database for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and pass on the experience of distinguished TCM practitioners using artificial intelligence technology for TCM clinical decision making. The clinical intelligent assisted decision-making system independently developed by hospital joint enterprises was used to standardize clinical decision making. To create a decision-making support tool, it adopted the approach of disease and syndrome differentiation of TCM; it also analyzed and modeled the empirical approach of distinguished TCM practitioners. Internet Plus information technology supported TCM clinical decision making and allowed more people to benefit from TCM services. Non-expert doctors can understand the system functions quickly; they can grasp a patient’s actual situation more efficiently and issue high-level prescriptions for TCM. Through the development and application of the intelligent decision-making system for TCM, the diagnostic efficiency and ability of doctors has greatly improved. The system has attained its expected goal.
